Reveal of the Key Crime Syndicate Leader:
Unless Helena's father is the man pulling the strings, I now have to go back and see what ever minor and major players have appeared this season.
I just would find it as a nice twist given Helena's storyarc thus far in season two. Despite my thoughts, one still can't accurately predict who will be revealed as the main villain of the season.
The only other likely suspect that I can think us is Emil, but despite his remaining temptations, he seems on the side of good again.
Another Character Death:
Again, I am thinking Guido Bertinelli as the prime candidate with Oliver as the suspect given the fact that they will be working together to get justice for Helena. His death is a great way to bring back Helena (however you plan to do it).
The other main characters as almost all of them figure prominently in the mythos and Chloe is essentially the title character. Oliver could pull a death / rebirth as Green Arrow was presumed dead in the comics for awhile. Then again, this show is inspired by the mythos as opposed to defined by it, so if Oliver and Chloe can be the main couple as opposed to Oliver and Dinah, then I guess anyone could be next.
Side Note: As so many characters are dying, how about an appearance by Dead Man or the Spectre.
Return of Vicki Vale:
I thoroughly enjoyed Vicki Vale's appearance on the show and enjoyed your choice of the new Mrs. Bartowski to fill the role.

Glad to see further content in the form of interviews. Breaking the fourth wall, I think the interview segments are just as creative as the actual episodes. Great job as always.

I liked the newest interview. Great way to address the differences with between Smallville and the comics. The diplomatic answer regarding whether Chloe and Oliver are meant to be together actually draws fans into the story more.

Hopefully Zod and Oliver have some screen time considering not only the branding, but their last encounter in the Phantom Zone.
The scenes with Bruce will definitely be interesting as this will be Bruce's first encounter with a Kryptonian.

I had watched a few episodes of the revived series off and on over the years, but after hearing good reviews (and reading some spoilers) for Series 5 and 6, I started watching the first season with Matt Smith.
Coming into the show at Series 5, despite my knowledge of some of the back story, it is definitely like watching a new show. The Doctor is a new actor with new companions (minus River, who appeared in David Tenant's last series/season) and new storyline.
It is sort how I felt with Stargate SG-1, when the Ori Storyline started. It felt like a new show as I was watching from the beginning, despite having watched the series regularly since Season 6.
Suffice it to say, Doctor Who is a great mix or fantasy, science and humor with just enough horror to satisfy most fans.
My only question is what will happen when the Doctor needs to regenerate himself beyond his race's self-imposed limit?

The only way I can see either Trinity or Watchtower (or any show currently airing on the site) not getting picked up is if the writers (1) chooses not to continue it due to time / life and (2) either the shownrunner does not want someone to take over the show for them or no one feels they can or should continue the show without the guiding force behind it.
As I said before, as a fan of Smallville in particular, I love the time and effort that everyone puts into these spin-off series and how you all find ways to be creative while still being respectful of the established canon.
To keep things unique and interesting shows that one does not have to be completely AU in order to write a compelling story and share their personal voice with others.

KOTOR games was one of the reasons for my renewed interest in Star Wars franchise.
While I am not an avid MMORPG player, Bioware's previous games almost has me convinced enough to purchase the Old Republic game when it comes out.

I recently viewed almost all of Series 5 in its entirety, and I found it to be a terrific show. I debating whether I want to go back and see the new series from the beginning before I move onto Series 6.
Any Doctor Who fans here?

I guess now is a bad time to pitch a backdoor pilot centering on Lois Lane's adventures in the alternative timeline....I'll come back later.

The main video games that hold my interest are generally Star Wars video games, particularly the Knights of the Old Republic series (my reason for buying an xbox system awhile back).
Action / RPGs are usually what I gravitate towards when I do buy new games.

I agree, it's always good to bounce ideas off of others. Helps you sort out your thoughts.
Definitely excited by the introduction of Harley Quinn, as well as Martha Kent's return. Martha in particular is another great way to bring in the spirit of Superman without having Clark appear on the series.
It seems like the Red Queen is getting a lot of frequent flyer miles in both Watchtower and Trinity. With her day job as a senator, I am beginning to wonder if she has any time to visit her son and his significant other (whose name shall not be spoken for our own safety).
Which brings me to another question: Where is Connor Kent? Wasn't he with Martha the last we heard of the Lex/Clark clone.

Thank you both for the clarification.
It would be interesting to see the tension between the Avengers and Shield, similar to the current animated series. I have definitely enjoyed how the new series demonstrate while both groups are working towards protecting the world, there still exists tension between them.

Thank you. I will have to go back to the episode.
I look forward to the next episode airing to see the aftermath and return of Canary.

I am working on drafting a fan script right now, a teaser to an idea that I was developing for a fan fiction story.
However, after finding this site, I thought it might be fun to try my hand at scriptwriting, especially since I often times cast my fan and original stories anyway.

I am guessing that this continuation is dead in the water.
As a fan, I would be interested in reading a Virtual Season 6 in script format. I regularly watched the Stargate franchise since Season 7 and became a big fan of SGA and would have like an additional year.
If anyone one is interested in exploring a virtual movie or needs more information in general, the best resource would be gateworld.net.

I definitely like the idea that the Avengers is created as a response to the growing threat by villains that not even the X-Men can handle themselves.
It will be interesting to see how such a team forms in a world where the primary heroes so far have been mutants, who are feared.

Any updates?
I am always impressed when site staff put a lot of time and effort in growing and improving their sites, and VPN is no exception.

I like that idea, Krysla! I think the network also could use another website, separate from the forum  Could make it a lot easier for people to read episodes. A lot more organized too. I think this is a good point, although I wonder if creating a separate site would lead to less traffic in the forums. Maybe a separate site that is updated weekly with (1) general news and updates (2) links to the episodes for the week only, (3) a video showcasing your current lineup as a preview of what you have to offer, and (4) general show descriptions and staff bios. Setting up a new site for the sole purpose of "airing" new episodes could increase traffic for the forums. The new episodes can still be posted on the forum as they have been but rotating with the week's new showings only would give the site purpose. In general, I like the new logo/banner and color scheme, as it is both cool and not hard on my eyes. Until you have a VS for the sci-fi category, you may want to remove it so it doesn't look like something is missing. You could always consider moving one of the action shows into sci-fi section, as your current action line-up does involve meta-humans, mutants, cloning, supercomputers, etc. It would fill in the gap without requiring a new show and none of the series would need to change their format as sci-fi shows often involve some action in them (Stargate SG-1 comes to mind). |
